Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Electrospinning and solvothermal methods were used to synthesize RGO/In 2 TiO 5 nanobelts. The prepared samples were characterized with XRD, SEM, UV–vis DRS, N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy. The results have shown that the samples presented an orthorhombic structure without any secondary phase, and the morphology was not noticeably changed after coupling RGO. The RGO (1 wt%)/In 2 TiO 5 nanobelts showed the highest photocatalytic activity. After 120 min of simulated sunlight irradiation, the degradation rate of RhB was up to 97.5%. Meanwhile, RGO/In 2 TiO 5 nanobelts showed excellent photocatalytic degradation property for fluoroquinolone antibiotic levofloxacin (LEV). The increased electrons and holes separation, enhanced active sites and improved light acquisition were the reasons for the outstanding photocatalytic performances of the photocatalyst. Moreover, terephthalic acid photoluminescence (TA-PL) experiments confirmed that the hydroxyl radicals ( OH) were generated during the photocatalysis processes. The enhanced photocatalytic activity allows RGO/In 2 TiO 5 nanobelts to be a promising candidate to treat antibiotic medical wastewater field in the future.
